Addressing Pollution Inequality and Supporting Immigrant Families in California

Democrats and Republicans are using immigration as a political flashpoint, as we approach election day in November. Meanwhile, California has been on the front lines of the issue for decades, and it has taken some unique approaches to help those that have made the journey to make the Golden State their new home.

Police have arrested a man they suspect started the Line Fire that's currently burning in the mountains of San Bernardino.

Officials say that 34-year-old Justin Wayne Halstenberg of Norco ignited the fire on September 5th in Highland near Baseline Road. Prosecutors say he tried to set to other fires that same day.

Meanwhile, crews in Southern California are continuing to battle the Airport Fire, which is now burning in both Orange and Riverside Counties.

Since igniting on Monday, the wildfire has scorched more than 23,000 acres. It's only 8% contained as of this morning.
